Important Investment Considerations
We believe in transparency. Before investing in SDA, you should understand:
- SDA is a long-term investment (20-year SDA framework horizon)
- Returns depend on occupancy, location, and design category
- SDA payments are not government-guaranteed - funding follows participants
- Properties may experience vacancy periods between tenants
- Professional financial and legal advice is strongly recommended
*Yield ranges are indicative only and depend on multiple factors. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
